PURPOSE: To determine the effectiveness of removal of the internal limiting membrane in
the treatment of full-thickness macular holes. METHODS: Data were reviewed from a …

A macular hole is a full-thickness defect of retinal tissue involving the anatomic fovea,
thereby affecting central visual acuity. Macular holes have been associated with myriad …

Objective To establish the sequence of events leading from vitreofoveal traction to full-
thickness macular hole formation. Methods Both eyes of 76 patients with a full-thickness …

PURPOSE: To evaluate prospectively the ability to peel epiretinal membranes and to
correlate the degree of membrane peeling to anatomic success rates. DESIGN …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate prospectively the efficacy and safety of autologous platelet
concentrate (APC) as an adjuvant in surgery for idiopathic macular hole. DESIGN …

Purpose: The authors compare the success of macular hole surgery with a short duration
tamponade using 5% perfluoropropane (C 3 F 8), intermediate duration tamponade using …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling and other
variables in hole closure and functional success rate after idiopathic macular hole surgery …

Objectives To determine the benefits of idiopathic full-thickness macular hole (FTMH)
surgery compared with observation and to evaluate the use of autologousserum as an …

Objective: The purpose of the study is to determine the long-term visual outcomes in patients
undergoing successful macular hole surgery. Design: A consecutive series of eyes with an …

This review evaluates the current surgical options for the management of idiopathic macular
